What does a new shower cost in Crewe?
Our guide price for a new shower in Crewe is £400–£3,300 including VAT. Prices in North West England run at about 6% below the national guide, mainly because of labour rates. The figure depends on the size of the room, whether anything moves, and the products you pick.

Working in Crewe
We cover every part of Crewe, including CW1 and CW2, and nearby Nantwich (3.8 miles) and Sandbach (4.6 miles).
Across a large town like Crewe, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. If you are replacing a failed electric shower in Crewe, we check whether the existing cable and circuit suit the new unit. We test pressure and flow at Crewe surveys before recommending a shower, so you know how it will perform before you buy.
Water across much of Cheshire is moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Crewe. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- A check of your hot-water system, water pressure and flow rate
- Tiling or re-tiling around the shower, with tanking behind new tiles in the wet area
- For an electric shower, a check of the consumer unit and whether a new dedicated circuit is needed
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Decisions to make first
Electric shower
Heats cold mains water as it flows, so it works without stored hot water. Higher kW units give more flow; 8.5 to 10.5 kW models need a dedicated circuit, often 40 to 45 amps.
Head and handset
A handset on a riser rail is versatile and easy for rinsing; a fixed overhead head feels generous but needs strong flow behind it.
Rules that apply in England
In England, an electric shower usually needs its own dedicated circuit, often 40 to 45 amps for an 8.5 to 10.5 kW unit, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P. The Part G limit of 48 °C applies to a new bath in a new dwelling or one created by change of use, not to a shower, but a thermostatic valve gives similar protection. An unvented cylinder fitted to improve the shower must be installed by a G3-qualified installer.
